DUBLIN, March 29.-Father Ryan, of
the Herbertstown branch of the National

tenants in his parish respecting the trus-
teeing of their rents under the plan Of
campaign, and was condemned to prison.
When Father Ryan emerged from the
court a prisoner, he was met by a multi

thousands, and cheered the priest with
enthusiastic and prolonged applause, and
then followed him in procession to the Jail,
making his tour triumphal one. Anum-

Lord Mayor Sullivan and Archbishop

Sullivan and Finnerty on the irish League
Proclamation.
CHICAGO, March 29.-The proclamation
issued by President Fitzgerald, OF the
Irish National League, which, it il said,
has created much excitement IN New York,
did not appear to have the same effect here.
"Mr. Ftzgerald's appeal has no hidden
meaning" said Alexander Sullivan to-day.
1T only conveys what a fair construction
of its language implies. He asks support
for the movement led by Parncll. Ii the
time ever comes when John Fitzgerald
thinks it desirable for the Irish people 10

bly plain terms lie will not resort to
subteriuge, and no one will misunderstood

While Mr.. Sullivan thought that Parlia-
ment would pass the Coercion act, hut did
not believe it would prove operative in
practice, and was certain 1t would not
prevent meetings ut the League
in Ireland.
'I do not see why Mr.. Fitzgerald's pro
clamatiOn should he regarded with suSpic-
ion ~ having other meaning than that en-
ployed by the plain text" said Hon. John
| F. Finnerty. Neither DO | understand
why it should be the occasion of excite
ment. He simply asks the patriots in
America TO contribute TOWARD the waging
of our warfare. The Coercion bill does not
disturb us in the least. When we have

JACKSONVILLE, FLA, March %
"BrsSs him! he's lie ,SAhior, ef cher dere
was one. y
"Pull him OFF de STAN" and hundreds
of cries, groans, cheers, hOots, rOared from
dusky throats tonight, creating pandemo-
MUM that brought Sheriff Henry Holland
and several deputies to the intersection of
Cedar and Adams streets.
Daily, and shortly after dark, Jackson
willie is called upon TO witness a most pc
culIar sight. The colored populace of the
! city and suburbs, even for miles into the
country. seem to be possessed with feel
| ings of frenzy over a man who has been re-
storing sight to the blind, making the lame
walk and curing by the laying on of
| hands. At least people enthused think
80. So far has this man. who travels
under the graudilOquent name of yellow
stone Kit" worked upon these people that
he lectures them on their moral duties,
voting, social conditions, rights, religious
beliefs, and has created more furOre among
| them than Sam Jones ever created among
! the Southern whites.
He harangues violently, with a peculiar
| flow of words; dresses gorgeously and gives
away barrels Of bread, crackers, meat and
dresses to cOlOred women and cOlGred ser
wants in hotels and families. The latter
| leave their work undOne to such an extent,
while they hover about the speaking stand,
that complaints come in numerOusly to the
city authorities on the matter.
Tonight over 4, 900 whites and blacks,
many respectable citizens among the
former, were gathered about his stand,
when someone threw a stone, aimed at
'Kit," but which striking an electric
| light, demolished the globe. In an instant
wild uproar followed, people crowded
about the stand, thinking an assault was
intended on him they style Second
| Messiah
Riot was imminent when the Sheriff
came over, hut by his loud outcry the
Messiah hushed the crowd and had the
blacks completely under his control. He
| lectures in favor of gamblers on coming
elections, and is the talk of the day. He
| is a man of slender build; dark, swarthy
features, curling, kinking hair of raven
blackneSs, piersing black syes, and dresses
very particularly, fairly blazing with gen
uine diamonds. The cast OF his features
and wild talk are partly responsible for
the belief among the cOlored people that
he is Messiah" as we'll as his alleged
cures.
In Key West excitement ran so high that
factions were formed and an attempt to
assassinate Kit was made, in which he was
severely injured.
In Tallahassee, Fla, cambridge and
Albany, Ga, and other sections of the
State the same peculiar excitement existed
among the colored people, all claiming
that he is the Messiah"
Ii is said that he carried away S23, ,OOt
from Key West as the recompense for his
arious work of faith. Ii the excitement
continues here he will leave this city with
considerable more than that.

Gladstone Denouuces Coercion.

LONDON, March 29.-GladstOne resumed
the debate in the House of Commons on
the Irish criminal law amendment bill.
He was loudly cheered when he arose.
He said in an issue so grave, pro
posals 50 extreme as those now put
forth by the government required ample
time for consideration. He found himself
bound TO support Parnells amendment,
because the ground on which Baliour
based the Governments case was abso-
lutely insufficient, unsatisfactory. The
Governments bill, instead of being cure
for Irish ills, or even palliative, was a
measure that would aggrayate deep seated
and worst disorders.
The Right Hon. Chief Secretary for
Ireland has attempted to excuse the pro
pOsals on the ground that crime in Ireland
during the last three years has increased,
but he followed the usual course in re-
framing from giving the House officials in
formation, proving his statistics. Take
the instance given OF threatening letters
received. In 80, 432 such letters were re-
ceived. In 'S6, but IS were received.
That hardly furnished ground for asking
Parliament TO assent to extreme measures.
Other classes of crime amounted in 80 t0
5l2 and in SO to 507. Opposition cheers. ]
This increase is described as the main rea-
son for extreme demands. If Balfour had
further private information. let him speak.

The Parliamentary Fund.

NEW YORK. March a9--When the Irish
Parliamentary Fund Association met yes
terday. Chairman Eugene Kelly referred
to the address Of President Fitzgerald, OF
the Irish National League, appealing for
aid for Ireland, and declaring the Parlia-
mentary fund would not in any way an-
tagonize the work of the National League,
but would rather give il the very best aid.
The fund, he said, was organized TO reach
a part of the American people and Irish.
Americans who had not previously been
appealed to for succor for lreland's cause.
Secretary X. NJ. Walters stated that the
funds still on hand in the Association
treasury were $50, 900, and it was resolved
to hold the money until q crisis arises,
when extraordinary aid is again needed 10

OnIy Two Survivors.

NEW YORK, March 29.-The bark,
SCOTS Bay, which arrived TO day from
Lisbon, reports that she sighted on March
81 a water logged and dismasted vesssl.
A boat was lowered, though the sea was
very heavy, and into IL climbed the mate
and four seamen. After several attempts
the vessel was boarded. The captain and
second mate were the only survivors; the
mate, steward and two colored seamen
having died the previous night. The two
survivors were almost exhausted. They
were not able 10 walk, md had 10 be
hoisted on board the SCOTS Ray. They
had been Iashed for iorty-cight hours on
the top of the after house without food OF
water, and their clothing was torn 10 rags.
The vessel was the schooner Marcus A.

CUMBERLAND, MD, March 29.-War-
rants were issued last night for the arrest
of seven men charged with tearing up the
tracks of the Piedmont < Cumberland
Railway on the Cookery farm, near Ra~l-
ings, yesterday morning. The warrants
were served by Constable Beir and dePu-
ties, who found the accused men in camp
at the disputed point and brought them
to Cumberland, where they were remand
for examination this morning. At the
examination they were admitted TO 800
bail each to appear before the Grand Jury

Percy, of Frostburg. and James A. Clarke,
Of this city. Everything is quiet at the
Cookery farm, and officials Of the new

take. 1t was stated yesterday that Sheriff
Houck was on the ground when the tracks
were torn up. This was an error. he
WAS not present at the time.

A League Meeting.

LONDON, March 29.-Michael Dayitt,
presiding at a meeting Of the National
League at Dublin, tonight, said the very
stringency of Balfour's measure appeared
to him to be favorable feature. He was
not prepared TO say what it might be neces'
sary for Irish manhood to do when naked
tyranny reigned in Ireland. Under pre-
vious Tory governments despOts had been
made to feel when they tried to crush lib
erty that they themselves were crushed.
Wm. O'Brien, editor of United Ireland,
said he would not pretend TO be violently
apprehensive OF the future. The Irish
poplee had gone through similar trials he
fore as they would have to endure should
the proposed coercion law he adopted.
when Mr.. Balfour shall have had ex-
perience in the results of coercion, said
Mr.. O'Brien, he will find plank bed q

Talk with Commissioner Cooley-Re
Resigns the Wabash ReceiVershiP.
CHICAGO, March 29.-Judge Thomas NJ.
Cooley, of Michigan, left for Washington
to-day TO meet the other Railroad Com
missiouers appointed under the Interstate
Commerce bill. Aefore leaving for the
East he handed in his resignation Of Re-
ceiver of the Wabash Railroad to Judge
Gresham, and asked to be relieved from
the duties OF the office ut an early date.
In a brief talk at the Sherman House
Judge Cooley said he had no, idea who
would succeed him as receiver, but there
were many competent persons and the Sc
lection ought not to be difficult. The first
ouestion the Commission will take up fol
consideration will be regarding an applIca'
ton by the Association roads OF Kentucky,
Tennessee and Alabama to be allowed
special rates on through traffic without
affecting their local traffic on account OF
the competition by the Ohio river and
Mississippi river lines. Judge Cooley
saws the Commission is authorized tO
grant special rates in such cases il it finds
the water competition materially affects
the through traffic of the railroads.

Another Rupture and Some Spicy Cor
respondence.
WASHINGTON, March 29.-The special
correspondence of tha Baltimore San to-
day thus comments on the revocation by
Secretary Endicott of several appointments
recently made by General Sheridan:
"The changes necessitated by the recent
order of the Secretary Of war, limiting the
tour of duty OF regimental adjutants and
quartermasters TO four years, will prob
ably occasion some correspondence be
tween Secretary Endicoit and Lieutenant
General Sheridan that will rival in piquancy
the letters which passed between them
earlier in the Administration. Gen. Sheri-
dan has always held that matters relating
to the assignment of officers should be en-
tirely in the hands of the commanding
General of the army.
Several colonels wrote to General Sher-
idan when it became necessary TO change
their adjutants and quartermasters To OBJ
tain his authority Ia assign lieutenants
doing tour of light battery duty to the
regimental staff positions. General Sheri-
dan reserved his decision, but advised the
colonies to send in any Recommendations
that they might think best in connection
with theappointments. The recommenda-
tions arrived and the Lieutenant General
appointed several adjutants and quarter
masters, who were at the time on light
battery duty.
This was done while Secretary Endicott
was absent from the city. When he re-
turned General Sheridan was in the West,
and without any hesitation he revoked the
appointments of the light battery lieuten-
ants. General Sheridan will return - this
city some time this week, and il is ex-
pected that he will resent the Secretary's
interference in a matter that he considers
within his exclusive jurisdiction. Cor
respondence on the subject will naturally
become part of the department records
whether il he acrimonious or merely re-
mOnstratiye in character, but il il doubt
lhl whether it will slip into public print,
as the letter from the Secretary 10 General
Sheridan, censuring him for assumption OF
authority, did over year ago.

Comments on Balfour's speech.

LONDON, March 29.-The Daiy Nees,
commenting on Mr.. Balfour's speech on
the Coercion bill, says; "lf Mr. Baliour
intended to destroy his own case he could
not have spoken with more triumphant
success. The Parnellites would have done
hetter not to interrupt him, Tor the longer
he continued the more utterly helpless his
contention appeared" The N1cs further
saws the bill was one of the worst ever
introduced in Parliament. 1t has one adj
vantage in that it destroys once for all the
hollow pretences that that the pseudo
Unionists desire to treat England aud Ire
land on equal terms.
The Standard, while admitting that MIR.
Balfour betrayed lack Of grasp of com
plexities of the Irish problem, excuses him
on the ground Of his newness in Office.
